MARK JUDGE: The Bari Weiss Kavanaugh Flip-Flop: The new CBS leader has a weak moral center.

ALAN HENDERSON ON the Columbus Quincentennial that never was. “To those leftists who regard the West as history’s worst aggressor, Indigenous People’s Day Columbus Day informally starts a sort of reverse Lenten season, a time of extra weeping and gnashing of teeth concluding with the sorrow of Conquest Day Thanksgiving. Those sorts refuse to view history as a mixed bag, that events that don’t go their way might have some upsides. In 1992 their one consolation was to see a Commie Guatemalan Mayan awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I doubt the timing was an accident.”

WHEN THE TRUTH DOESN’T FIT THE NARRATIVE: Liberal Media, Activists Silent as Bari Weiss Makes LGBT History at CBS News: Groups who claim to promote diversity and inclusion refuse to acknowledge lesbian trailblazer.

JEFFREY CARTER: They Want And Need Anarchy: Especially in Chicago.

Trump has sent ICE to Chicago to get rid of illegal aliens. It makes sense because Chicago is a center for drug trafficking in the US. The local machine politicians have made nice with the gangs and let them run wild as long as they get the vote out for them. 6200 murders and over 40k people wounded in Chicago over the last ten years. The violence is spreading to nicer neighborhoods in the city. You can go on social media and see beautiful photos of the river going into the lake, but those same people never set foot in Austin or Englewood. If they are a politician, they might for a photo op, but they will have an extensive security detail. The mayor has 150 cops on his detail.

My old liberal acquaintances are very upset with Trump. They are posting all over LinkedIn about the “rule of law”. Pretty clear they have no understanding of the law. They wonder why ICE agents are wearing masks. Maybe it’s a fear of Covid, but I’m joking. Masks never worked for Covid. They are wearing masks because terrorist organizations like ANTIFA are threatening them and their families with violence.

It’s pretty clear the Democrats have chosen violence as the next level of escalation. Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood. A Virginia Attorney General candidate threatens to put bullets in the heads of the Virginia Speaker of the House and his children. There are no calls from any Virginia Democrat for him to step down, let alone any Democrat.

Nope.

KIND OF GIVING THE GAME WAY: Hahaha: Outrage Cacophony as Trump Supporter Buys Dominion Voting Machine Co. “Just like that … Democrats don’t like Electronic Voting and BEG for paper Ballots.”

Nowhere has the death of the "expert" class been more evident than in foreign policy.

Everything they told you for decades was wrong, specifically regarding the Middle East.

All of it, every bit of it, was dead wrong. And they still pretend they have credibility. https://t.co/lqjPCrf2w1

ROBIN HANSON: Power Corrupts Prestige. “Humans have long shared norms that say to resist power, but admire prestige. So people with power have long sought to launder their power into prestige; they’d rather be seen as prestigious, instead of a bigshot.”

HMM: EDC Tip: No Reloads for Self-Defense. “If you have no other brand loyalty, just purchase the same thing that local law enforcement uses. If you’re ever questioned, your attorney can say that if it’s good enough for local cops to carry, it’s certainly good enough for an armed citizen. Again, no hostile attorney is going to try and convince a jury that the Sheriff’s Department is wrong and their ammo is evil.”

#JOURNALISM:

Virtually every photo taken of me I’m smiling. I’m a chill guy. They had to look forever to find something menacing. It’s not by accident.

Also, @NBCNews is implying I deserved it for being close to Trump and Charlie Kirk. https://t.co/8MeRnlaUC9
